—1. Strength—
Louis is a subestimated character, nobody likes him because he is slow but he is a good character if used correctly, first of all you cant be aggressive with him, his armour is very useful but you need to be at defensive, if you are offensive with him your enemy can easily counter every attack, picking up a weapon like a baseball bat would increase a lot your speed.
—2. Advantage position—
Louis does not have an advantage position at all but on each position he has some advantages:
*left-right position- if you are in a left-right position the best thing you can try is making your enemy dash attack you, just don’t move then when he hits your armour you quickly stop and start hitting him, you can do D>J or if you don’t want to stop running you can just press A that would be a running attack and it would hit him two times
**up-down-it is not recommended because you cant do anything after they punch you, even if you try punching them just after they punched you, they would win, even deep would win so lets try running to get another position
***z axis-if you are on the z axis the best you can do is be a little aggressive doing a diagonal dash attack because Louis dash attack performed diagonally is very rare but very useful too.
—3. Recommended Combos—
[3.1]
AAA*+G+AAAAA+J+JJJJJ….**
This combo is better if you have full or almost full mp
*If they block the best thing you can do is do a D>J, if they flip back after your D>J do a D^J, they wont be able to block it
**You can keep pressing J until you are out of mp, if you want to prevent them from flipping back and hen dash attack you, you can throw them diagonally by leaving v or ^while you are throwing them, or you can do a D>J after you throw them
[3.2]
AAA*+D>J
*If they block do a D>J
This is used when you don’t have enough mp as to doing more damage with the [3.1] combo, sometimes your D>J wont make him fall if you do it on an extreme edge, if this happens your opponent will be on the dance of pain so you can quickly do another D>J
[3.3]
AAA*+>+>>A
I use this one a lot because it doesn’t uses too much mp and it does good damage, if you hit him from his back you will hit him twice doing more damage
*If they block you can do a D>J
[3.4]
Only with a baseball or a bottle
>>JA+>>A
If you are holding a bottle or a baseball you can dash and throw it to your enemy then do a running attack, Louis will hit the bottle and your enemy, so you and the bottle will hit him, it doesn’t matters if they block, you will break his defence but however it does less damage.
[3.5]
AAA*+D^J
*This is a very easy combo and does decent damage but if they block your AAA change the D^J to a D>A or D>J, see weakness to know why.
—4. Techniques—
[4.1]
Counter
When you are defending, after your enemy hits you quickly do a D^J, that way you will throw him away, however quick punching characters like Davis and Woody may be able to continue punching you
[4.2]
Second Counter
When somebody will dash attack you from a left right position or will throw you something like a knife or a baseball ball you can counter it with D>A
[4.3]
Falling
When you are running and you are low of hp you can prevent somebody from hitting you by pressing J just after they hit you, they will hit your armour then you will jump but you will fall, it is really useful when you don’t have much hp left
[4.4]
Transforming
When you have low hp if you press DJA you will transform onto Louis EX however you won’t have armour anymore and while you are transforming you will be vunerable, so better do it when your enemy is down.
—5. Weakness—
[5.1]
Slow
Louis weakness is very easy to see, he is very slow so if you always encage him in close combat you should win most of the times
[5.2]
Transforming
While Louis is transforming he is vunerable and he must have low hp so you can start attacking him finishing him without giving him the opportunity to attack you as LouisEX
[5.3]
Slow Special attacks
All Louis special attacks are very slow, if you see he will do a D>A you can move a little up or down and then dash attack him diagonally, or if you see he will do a D>J you can move up or down and then dash attack him or follow him and when his attack ends start hitting him, if he takes you by surprise with his D>A just defend, and if it is D>J just defend and wait until he passes you then you can start hitting him if he is close or you can start throwing him energy balls.
[5.4]
Trapped
Sometimes when he is jumping and he is almost landing if you hit him you will hit his armour but sometimes he will be like trapped without possibilities of moving, so you can easily start hitting him.
—6. Not Recommended—
[6.1]
Transforming
You must only transform if your enemy is down other ways you will be vunerable while transforming
[6.2]
Special attacks
Louis special attacks must only be done when your enemy has just hitted you armour while dashing, if they are really away or if they are used on a combo, other ways they will be able to easily block them or walk away from then then they can counter attack you.
